And the most important move has already been made: at centre

When has Mandani ever been right about the CFL?

Neg list is far superior to an American draft IMO. It rewards your scouting as opposed to a draft which is voodoo when guys may never have an interest in coming north. Draft is an event they can market I am sure is the logic but it doesn't help the game.

It's a start. No one would say he'd turn things around but suddenly the Bombers have a player that teams actually have to account for on defense. It strenghens our middle. We have a run stopper & a pass rusher. it makes everyone around him on the D Line better. Just like on the OL the problems they had with Koala. How can players around him have played better when he was the worst starting center in the league? You wouldn't last very long as a GM shopping at the Dollar Store for players.

This is the thing for me with an American draft and (imo) one of the reasons why there is so much turn over on the neg lists. If these guys get drafted and then say no thanks to playing in the CFL, what was the point of drafting them? As it is now, if the team holding neg list rights gets told the player has zero interest in the CFL, they can just drop him and add someone else.

If we give Zach the needed protection that also provides a great resource for BO to blow things up while adding a few offensive receivers to compliment Demski and Wilson with an OC who calls a creative game to keep the defense on their heals, we’ll be fine, easy peasy.

https://3downnation.com/2026/01/09/cfl-to-discuss-replay-centre-awards-format-three-minute-clock-rules-and-more-at-winter-meetings/ Cfl tone deaf af, last thing we need is more changes. We have too many big changes coming already. It’ll be impossible to tune the change planned if they keep compiling changes on top of that.

For me it's not about $$ it's about finding that absolute force in the middle. Sayles reminds me of Vega. He's above average but not someone who is going to be dominate game in and game out. I wouldn't be disappointed if the Bombers signed Sayles, but I wouldn't want to place all my hope in him turning around the DL....if that makes sense.

He’s an attention ***** who knows nothing about any sport.

I think the only attraction for ott with the pest would be dinwiddie. but i don’t think he’d a gotten the ott job with out wanting to work with brown. I don’t see any chance that whole scenario goes down. Why would any team in a trade give up brown or the pest for zach? If you’re lucky zach has a good year left. Hasn’t had a good one in two years. The other two have a ton of football left in them. Browns deal is great value as well. Madani is garbage as a sports reporter. A less knowledgeable version of suitor.

Ottawa just got Brown to take a reduced contract (which wasn't that high to begin with)so they can go hard in FA - pretty sure they aren't wanting to pick up the huge contract that Zach or Kelly would bring.

This is from a couple weeks ago... I posted about it when it dropped. He said the Bombers will be absolute trash this year and end up having to trade Zach to TO, Kelly will go to Ottawa and Brown back to Winnipeg...

Jets win? What? Weird. We have the plan with Gavin McKenna remember or just win 35 more straight games and we can go back to thinking this season.

Good goal- no guarantee of a win, but ya gotta start somewhere. Stanley increases his market value.

Tremendous comp. Solid, but not special. If he came cheap enough, I'm fine bringing him to camp, but I'm not going out of my way to pay for a guy like Sayles that we SHOULD be able to find a copy of via recruiting. IMO, he is definitely NOT in the same conversation as a guy like Jake Ceresna, who you absolutely would break the bank for.

Yup I talk way too much about dline upgrades desperately needed but a stud LB would be soooo nice.

Not sure if it's been posted but the Argos brought in Ka'Deem Carey as RB coach...

I like the Cadwallader signing.

I don't know why they don't just let Castillo do it all

I agree on Castillo. Kicking is huge in the CFL and Castillo performs up to his contract. Those are the type of contracts we need to keep.

Liegghio was lucky that kick was blocked in the 2022 Grey Cup because he missed it anyway. It saved him the embarrassment of having to explain that he choked once more under pressure. Castillo has been money for us since & now some fans think he's just some kind of overpriced kicker that should be replaced by some random rookie player. From a place like Italy or Japan because he costs too much. The guy has kicked 3 field goals of 60 yards or more.

I remember the last time we cheaped out on a place kicker and how that ended up... Castillo is far from being an easy cost cutting player.

The last guy we drafted really worked out for us, didn't it? Took him 4 years to actually become a pro kicker & get over the jitters. It's all hilarious how everyone thinks no player has value so let's sign everyone to the cheapest contracts possible. Then they wonder why we don't win championships.

He seems like a waste of an American spot honestly. I’m not sure I’d bring him back. I’d draft a guy and probably draft a global guy who can do all 3. Seems like better use of the roster. I’d bring in 5 or 6 guys who can do all 3 honestly and keep the best 2. 1 on the PR. Again if you gonna go American there dude needs to do all 3. Sergio can but doesn’t. If he does all 3, bring him back to compete but no guarantees there. Kickers are a dime a dozen like receivers and defensive ends should be.
